Pastor’s Corner

The Ascension the Lord

W hat is Ascension all about? It means that in the incarnation event, Jesus became man by the power of the Holy Spirit through Mary.

Ascension was not a farewell party for Jesus. That Jesus will not come back or the termination of His redemptive works. Rather, it was His hour of glorification by the Father, The time for His physical and visible presence in our midst was completed but the time for His presence in its invisible and sacramental dimension has just started. Even though Christ is no longer present to us physically and visibly, He is still here with us because He said: “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do unto me.” He, too, said: “Whenever you gather in my name, I am in your midst.” In the consecration of the Eucharist, the priest pronounces: “This is my Body…This is my Blood.” Indeed, the host and the wine become Christ’s Body and Blood.

There is a story that says that, when Jesus returned to heaven, his Father asked him whom he had left on earth in order to carry out his mission. Jesus proudly told his Father that his friends would do it. “And”, God replied, “you mean Peter who betrayed you, and Judas who sold you and all the rest of the disciples who ran away when you were crucified? You mean to tell me that they are going to carry out your work”? Jesus answered, “Yes, Father, they are the only ones, except for Judas”. His Father said, “What is your backup plan”? Jesus said, “There is no backup plan. Either they do it or it does not get done. There is no plan B. We are the only plan that God has to bring His Good News to other people. We are His only witnesses. We are the ones with the power to show others how to go to heaven. And, if we think about it, this power that God has given us comes with an awesome responsibility, the responsibility to use His gifts to us for His glory, and not just for our own pleasures. They say little who love much. In fact, those who love much need not say much. As long as there are men and women who quietly and humbly live out their commitment to the mandate of the Ascension, then we can be rest assured that the work of salvation goes on.

ASK YOURSELF: Are you engaged in something that’s beneficial to your church and society? Can you say at the end of your earthly life, like Christ did, “Mission accomplished?”

Congratulations to these children who received the First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 5, 2018,

at the 1:00 pm Holy Mass

Del escritorio de Padre Krzysztof (Kristof)

E l día de la madre, no es solamente para ofrecer, como muchos lo suelen hacer, un detalle de cariño, una flor; sino primordialmente reconocer la importancia de la madre.

Antiguamente se decía: “madre sólo hay una”, y es verdad. Recordemos a la madre ejemplar de todos nosotros, la Virgen María, quien llevó en su vientre purísimo durante nueve meses al Hijo de Dios. En ese tiempo surge en Ella un amor sin límite a ese Niño, Jesús, que será infante, joven, y finalmente Hijo suyo en la cruz. Por eso, mamás, todas ustedes deben ser el ejemplo y el recuerdo de esa Madre de Dios. Mamás, ustedes nos han llevado en su vientre durante nueve meses en que ya su amor, nos acompañaba. Por todo ese detalle y cariño, gracias. Mamás, vean a María, vean en Ella el ejemplo. Hoy en su casa, en su hogar, algunas lejos de sus hijos, algunas cerca de ellos, algunas en el lecho del dolor de un hospital. Siempre vean a María como su ejemplo. El ser madre es de tal categoría, es de tal maravilla, que es también tan hermoso cuando las mujeres lo asumen con responsabilidad. Por eso Jesús escucha ese piropo que le dicen de María: «bendita la madre que te trajo al mundo». Esos piropos de amor en la época de Jesús son los mismos que hoy también les decimos a nuestras madres, ¡benditas mamás!, que han sabido cumplir el rol a veces difícil, a veces sacrificado, de ser madres, ese rol de educar a sus hijos. Una educación que supone cariño y ternura. Dicen los médicos que los bebés ya reconocen la voz de su madre cuando están en el vientre. Ya empieza un cariño. Por eso cuando hoy celebramos este día de la madre no queremos solamente hablar de regalos, queremos hablar de María, de la Virgen, queremos hablar de las mamás a ejemplo de María; queremos hablar de los hijos, para que sepan querer mejor a sus madres, no sólo de palabra, sino con los hechos concretos. Qué daría una madre por ver una sonrisa de sus hijos. Cuantas veces las madres mendigan una palabra de cariño, de agradecimiento, de perdón. El encuentro de las madres y sus hijos es algo que ilumina el mundo. Busca las palabras y háblale con cariño, dale un abrazo, dale un beso, dile que le pides perdón, que la quieres más que nadie. Pero que no sean sólo palabras. Cuántas veces el marido sin querer hace sufrir a su esposa, cuántas veces los hijos no saben devolverle a su madre con cariño, con obediencia, y con oración, todo su sacrificio. Mamás, Dios las ha hecho para ser amadas, pero no para que se queden con ese amor, sino para dárselo a los demás, y por eso tengan la fortaleza de saber levantar esos hogares, cuando el hogar se tambalee, cuando se encuentra débil, ahí está la Virgen de Guadalupe con ustedes para decirte a ti mujer y madre, ama a tus hijos. Mamá, la mía está en el cielo, a ti joven o anciana, estés donde estés, serás cada día más alegre, mejor y más plena cuando sepas amar más. Que el Señor bendiga todos sus hogares.

¡Felicitaciones y bendiciones a todas las Madres en su día!

I believe in ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC Church. These are what are called the “Four Marks of the Church.” This week we focus on the fourth mark: APOSTOLIC The Church Jesus founded is apostolic because He appointed the apostles to be the first leaders of the Church, and their successors were to be its future leaders. The apostles were the first bishops, and, since the first century, there has been an unbroken line of Catholic bishops faithfully handing on what the apostles taught the first Christians in Scripture and Sacred Tradition (2 Timothy 2:2). Including Peter, there have been 266 popes over the past 2,000 years. Eighty of them are saints. Some were of questionable moral character but all of them zealously protected the Deposit of Faith left to us by the original Apostles. Two of the Gospels were written by Apostles – St. Matthew and St. John. It is widely understood that St. Mark received the input for his Gospel from the teachings of St. Peter while traveling with and listening to him. St. Luke re-ceived the bulk of his information from St. Paul and other eyewitnesses of Je-sus’ teachings. St. Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles, while St. Paul wrote most of the letters of the New Testament with others written by Sts. Pe-ter, James, John and Jude. The Book of Revelation was likely written by St. John the Apostle. There is no public revelation of God’s Word after the death of the last Apostle - St. John who died near the year 100 AD. Peter was the only Apostle to lead the universal Church as Pope. However, each of the Apostles (including Paul) ordained deacons, priests and bishops to assist them and to continue protecting the Deposit of Faith as their succes-sors. There are some Eastern Orthodox churches who can trace the ordina-tion of bishops back to the Apostles and have valid sacraments but do not recognize the supreme authority of the Roman pontiff. None of the protestant denominations can claim Apostolic succession for their ministers, deacons, priests, bishops, etc.
